TRA Studios says the project shifted during the design process, as East Harlem transformed into one of the most attractive neighborhood in Manhattan for new tenants. This shift meant they could design more comfortable condominium units, rather than smaller rental units.

The exterior is a simple, rhythmic blend of material and space. Half of the façade’s windows appears to angled inwards, while the concrete line along the floors continues parallel to the street. It’s a subtle distinction within the design that creates tension and intrigue.
